Very, very late last Thursday, my son heard something in his yard when he got home from work. Even after he’d gone inside he could still hear it, so after a while he went out with a flashlight to see if he could find whatever was making the noise. Much to his surprise, he found a very tiny kitten–no mom or sibs around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He brought it inside, wrapped it in a towel and then drove to a friend’s house in the middle of the night where they sat up with it, trying to get it to eat. His friend had recently fostered a litter of orphaned kittens and she had some kitten formula on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He called me the next morning and since I had to be at school for an end-of-the-year special event, we enlisted the help of his dad and stepmom who made an appointment with their vet to check over the baby. The vet verified that it was a male kitty, approximately 3 weeks old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My son will be keeping the baby, and echoing the theme of “it takes a village to raise a child,” we’re all taking turns caring for him, since he needs to eat so often. It’s a bit of a juggling act right now given our respective work schedules, but we’re all totally “smitten by kitten”!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Very, very late last Thursday, my son heard something in his yard when he got home from work.
